I have been working with Karen and things have been pretty smooth. If I were you I would do more research on Dr Garcia and his practice to put your mind at ease. You can also call and speak directly with your coordinator. (I did most communication through email) Because they are in another state, across the country, I guess you really can't be 100% sure. It's tough when you live far away. What I've done just in case is printed out all correspondences between Karen and I, and have printed my receipt in the event that I need to prove that I did pay when I'm there for surgery. I've read lots of experiences about Dr Garcia, watched videos, read blogs and it put my mind at ease. I've considered started videos of my experience with Dr Garcia so that I can put other people's fears to rest who are considering Tijuana Bariatrics. I know this wasn't much help, but so many have had the surgery with Dr Garcia and he seems very trustworthy. If you'd like to keep in tough via email just message me!
I'm in the process of scheduling my sleeve with Dr. Garcia. It's time to pay the deposit. This is the part that makes me nervous. I'm working with someone named Alisha and someone named Curt. How did you pay your deposit? I wish there was a more secure way to pay. This place used to be 'Ready 4 a Change' but is now 'Tijuana Bariatrics'. How do I know for sure my money is going to Dr. Garcia and not to a scam artist's pocket? Ugghhhh tell me I'm freaking out over nothing.
I had someone with me but I would have been totally fine by myself. The trip was very easy. I packed very lightly. I made sure to bring slip on shoes and pj's for walking the halls. Chapstick was a must. I also took my eReader but I never used it. Between sleeping and walking I never took it out of my bag. May will be here before you know it. Good luck!

6 weeks out and down 43 lbs!
Hello Jennifer, I was worried if you could give me the contact information for your Cordinator.
There are 2 Garcias. I had VSG with Dr. Fernando Garcia in October 2014. I am down 77 lbs so far and feel absolutely awesome. His team is great but I did email Dr. Velasco last week with a question and have not received a response. Perhaps she changed her email address?? Not sure, but ask questions if you like.
I am scheduled to have a V G S procedure 5.22.15 with Dr Ortiz with ALM. Is it safe to go alone? What should I bring? Anyone's experience with surgery in mexico would be greatly appreciated!
Research Dr. Ramos Kelly. Excellent surgeon. He has a Facebook page also. Linda
